Varicose Vein Causes: No, energy drinks and drinks high in sugar and caffeine are not linked to development or worsening of varicose veins. There is actually no known dietary compenent of varicose vein disease. Jobs that require prolonged standing, multiple pregnancies, or trauma to the legs can increase the tendency for varicose veins to form.

No: There is no reason to think that they would. So no worries there.

V V/ Energy drinks: There is no relationship between having energy drinks and the formation of varicose veins. Varicose veins are due to malfunctioning valves (reflux) of usually the saphenous system of veins and the most common reasons for this are genetics, pregnancies, aging and trauma. If you have varicose veins then you should see a vein specialist.
